Types of Wedding Photography

When it comes to wedding photography it’s good to do a large amount of research beforehand as every wedding photographer has a different style, approach and technique. Wedding photography includes 3 different styles of capturing wedding photographs. These are called Contemporary, Traditional, and Reportage wedding photography. Each style has it’s own unique properties, however, depending on which style of wedding photography you prefer will determine which wedding photographer you choose.

Contemporary Photography, or also known as Editorial, Fashion, Creative or Modern wedding photography, is mainly inspired by editorial fashion photography. The main aim of contemporary wedding photography is to create highly interesting images through set up shots. Photographers who specialise in contemporary wedding photography will create photographs with interesting backdrops, creative angles and artistic light effects. Contemporary wedding photography may not be for you if you’re looking to have a true representation of real emotion and uniqueness of natural shots throughout your special day. 

Traditional Wedding Photography is well known for being a formal style, most of which pictures require to be posed for. Most traditional wedding photographers create a set list of photographs which they want to capture on the day, ranging from posed pictures of the bride and groom, to group shots of the whole wedding party. This style of wedding photography requires a lot in intervention from the wedding photographer throughout the day, rather than taking a relaxed stand back approach. 

Reportage Photography also known as documentary wedding photography is what Cambridge wedding photographers specialise in. Documentary wedding photography catches the essence of magical moments, and has the ability to capture the natural happiness and honest emotions throughout the special day. This style of wedding photography allows the photographer to take a more natural approach to taking photographs in an unobstructive manner. Although photographers that take this approach have the ability to convey true emotion through photographs, they can also take setup shots if you wish. 

As Cambridge wedding photographers specialise in documentary wedding photography, their main aim is to catch emotion as it happens, without having to be forced into any set up poses which may lack real emotion. The wedding albums have the ability to create a timeline effect full of events from start to finish.
